How to Break into High Demand Jobs in Manufacturing and Construction

Roadmap to the Executive Suite

How do you create an opportunity for women in the manufacturing and construction industries? How can purpose-driven organizations create an impact and change for women who seek high-demand jobs in these industries?

I am stoked to have two amazing leaders who are making a difference in many women’s lives, Jayne Vellinga and Regan Brewer. Jayne is the Executive Director of the Chicago Women in Trades, an organization that has been supporting, advocating, and training women in the Chicagoland area for the last 40 years. Regan is the President of the Jane Addams Resource Corporation, or JARC, an organization that provides FREE training in welding, CNC operation, and mechanical assembly.

This episode will be all about giving women more access to high wages and high job skills in the construction and manufacturing industries. You will hear incredible stories of women who joined programs offered by the organizations and how it changed their lives.

In This Podcast We Talk About:

• When and how Chicago Women in Trades started and who it serves.
• When and how Jane Addams Resource Corporation started and who it serves.
• How each organization qualifies the women who want to participate in their programs.
• The success stories from each organization and the impact on the lives of women who joined their programs.

Get to know more about My 90-Day Job Offer Program here.
Application to Work With Claudia Miller.

About me:
I was consistently being passed up for promotions and realized I was being underpaid compared to my colleagues.
I knew that in order to get ahead in my career and be able to make the money I wanted… to support the lifestyle I wanted…something had to change.
So, I started investing in myself. I worked with a career coach, resume writer, read every career book that I could get my hands on, enrolled in career courses, and studied colleagues who seemed to be crushing it in their careers. And after investing over $20,000 …and spending thousands of hours over five years…I realized that many of the common advice out there did NOT move the needle when it came to advancing your career!
Instead, I created my now signature program, 90-Day Job Offer, that is unlike anything that is out there. I wish a program like this existed when I was going through my career advancement and salary negotiations. If so, it would have been a fraction of the cost and saved me over four years of frustration of trial-and-error.
Since then, my clients have taken my ready-to-use resources to advance their careers in 90-days or less, and secured on average a 56% increase in salary (to date my clients have received $30,000 - $120,000 in additional earned income per year)!!
I’m on a mission to help women in tech collectively earn over a $1M in the next year. Will you join me?
